The hike is beautiful and the trails well-maintained and very walkable. Absolutely stunning scenery! Ramon, our guide, was excellent! He expertly spotted wildlife and helped us take great photos. He was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him as a guide.

We had a great time during this tour. Monica and Keylor were great. We saw a lot of exotic bird and animal species including macaws, frogs, spider monkeys, sloths, to name a few. Monica our tour guide was exceptional and shared so much about the incredible flora and fauna of Arenal. The Hanging bridges were amazing. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

    Excellent - recommended

    mariamcdade, Apr 2026
    We were picked up by Monica and Alejandro (driver) and transported to the Mistico Park. Monica was our amazing guide - she was informative and incredibly able to spot the wildlife that we would not have otherwise seen, including a sloth and an anteater! The actual bridges were lots of fun and a great way to see the scenery. I would warn that certain parts require a bit of uphill walking but nothing too strenuous - and it's worth it!

    There were communication problems about the meeting place. This led to a 30 minute delay. There is also more than 10 people in the group.

    Mistico with guide

    Mandy_S, Apr 2026
    Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and we saw a few animals. I will say for the price—I’m not sure it’s worth hiring a guide. I would just buy a pair of binoculars and pay the entrance fee.

    Absolutely incredible! Our guide was so great. He made the trip, was able to spot animals we never would have seen! Went above and beyond to get great pictures thru his scope!

    Although the title of the experience is the hanging bridges, the real experience for us was more about the wildlife. Our guide was amazing at finding wildlife and we saw a howler monkey, spider monkey, toucan and more. He was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, even the leafcutter ants which are more interesting than they sound. If you're looking just to experience the bridges and not stop to look for wildlife you should go on your own. The pace was no fast, but this was one of the best places we found wildlife so it was worth it for us.

    Excellent experience, definitely worth going with a guide! They are full of knowledge and know how to spot the wildlife. The only downside was how crowded it was at 8am on a Wednesday in March. There were too many tours going on at the same time.

    We were picked up from our hotel on time. Our tour guide Danny was very knowledgeable about the area , history, plants and wildlife . He pointed out many plants and wildlife during our tour of hanging bridges. I highly recommend this tour to all .

    A Bird's Eye View of the Canopy

    Michel_H, Jan 2026
    This is a park with a series of bridges constructed for the purpose of giving you a bird's eye view of the natural jungle area in which they have been constructed. As you walk from one bridge to another the guide very helpfully points out various flora and fauna that the untrained eye is likely to miss. Some of the bridges are mostly rigid and others more likely to sway as people ahead of you walk them (which can feel a bit like being on a boat). Great views and a great guide who taught us much.

    Very cool rainforest and bridges!

    Marshall_K, Dec 2025
    Great experience Ramon is a great guide he pointed out so many creatures! Saw monkeys, lotta birds and many other things. Great activity to do!

    Prepare for the Inclines

    Crystal_M, Dec 2025
    The tour guide was amazing! Our group was a mixture of individuals of varying challenges. Yet, the guide had the ability to monitor and set the pace to accommodate the group as a whole. I highly recommend this adventure and the tour guide.

    Great guide! Glad we had a guide, we would have missed a lot!
